In ethnography, researchers are taught to understand culture, history, and tradition through being with their subject of study. My Revolutionary Mother advances this technique and uses research to understand the past as it looks inside one’s own family and one’s self.

With the advent of torrent-sharing websites, films became readily available to anyone in the Internet. Yet, many of the files shared online are almost always synonymous to piracy. This is simply off-putting to movie buffs who believe that artists should reap maximum profit from their works. Viddsee, an online video service company, solves this dilemma. It offers a guilt-free movie experience as it allows its users to watch short films made available in public domain. Directors and production staff submit their works in the website. This Singapore-based company currently curates films from Asia but we don’t know yet, they might expand to Europe and America in the near future.

As a start, we give you five of their Philippine-made shorts that might interest you. We are providing a link of each video. But if you wish to view more works from other countries, we suggest visiting their website and tell us submissions that we might have missed.
